Abstract

JOYA VAZQUEZ, Rebeca et al. Pheochromocytoma giant cystic: a case report. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2017, vol.37, n.4, pp.374-378. ISSN 1022-5129.

The giant cystic pheochromocytoma is a rare adrenal tumor in the predominantly asymptomatic course; so many cases are not diagnosed until the time of surgery. The simple mobilization of the tumor is associated with the passage to the blood of large amounts of catecholamines and high morbidity and mortality. So the surgery itself and perioperative management are a huge challenge. This article describes the case of a malignant giant pheochromocytoma (35 cm) which occupied the entire right abdomen. Even with the preoperative diagnosis of pheochromocytoma, pharmacological blockade preoperative and intraoperative measures, the patient died shortly before the end of surgery.

Keywords : Catecholamines; Adrenal medulla; Pheochromocytoma.
